End of Month Comments & Rankings

March has proven to be another banner month for fans of independent wrestling in San Antonio. Wrestling Hero Al Snow appeared in town to run a one-day clinic for the Texas Wrestling Academy and the ensuing show several high points for Texas Wrestling Entertainment. River City Wrestling showed San Antonio what hard-core is all about with their “Breaking All Of The Rules” show which presented matches using not only tables, ladders and chairs but trash cans, thumb tacks, staple guns and a barb-wire wrapped baseball bat. American Championship Wrestling moved into a new home which will help open up the action in that promotion.

Top indy stars from around the state continue to come into town for shows, many of them promise to return for future events. On top of this, both TWE and ACW took their shows on the road, hitting Del Rio and Kerrville respectively.

Wrestlers from both TWE and RCW appeared on the WWE Raw show broadcast live from Beaumont. Don Juan of the Texas Treats competed on WWE Heat taped that same night. Milano Collection AT was announced as a participant in the prestigious Super 8 Tournament with more great things in his future. Hotstuff Hernandez signed a contract with TNA wrestling and will be appearing with Konnan’s Latin American Exchange on future TNA Impact Broadcasts. Local fans needn’t worry however; Hotstuff will still be able to defend his RCW heavyweight belt in San Antonio. Congratulations go out to all the wrestlers gaining national recognition.

Thoughts on SA Indy Wrestling Scene

After nearly three months of publishing the blog on the website and in this, the third Newsletter recap some points have arisen concerning this publication. First of all, The Scene is not about me. I am not an insider involved in any wrestling organization. I have no desire to become part of the show beyond that of the typical vocal fan. Nor do I feel qualified to tell any promotion how to run their shows. I just want to be a fan and mark out as much as possible. I publish this as much for my own entertainment as for the service it may or may not provide. If some fan looking for a show in San Antonio comes across my blog and is able to make a live event, then the main purpose has been served.

I will never publish anything overly negative about any promotion or wrestler despite any personal feelings I may have. I am not interested in the personality conflicts that exist behind the scenes and between individuals from rival promotions. I think the typical fan probably feels the same way. We are just interested in seeing an entertaining show. Out of respect for those individuals who run the shows, I will not be aggressively distributing the printed newsletter at any shows. Since the Scene promotes all wrestling, it might be a conflict of interests for one organization to allow advertisements for another at their shows. I usually will have copies on hand if approached by an individual. To receive a newsletter in the mail, email me to arrange postage and printing costs.
